A mobile arcade shooter featuring endless runner mechanics, distributed in a free-to-play system with not too obtrusive microtransactions. Shooty Skies was developed by the same team that was responsible for the surprisingly well-received Crossy Road. This time, the player takes control of a character in a flying machine – at the beginning, you’re a cat in a monoplane – and shoots down enemies (including arcade cabinets, giant mouths, huge beavers, computer monitors and such) approaching from the opposite direction as long as he can. Shooty Skies is discerned by its interesting controls. The plane fires automatically, but to move it, we need to swipe our finger. Releasing the finger launches a powerful rocket attack – useful when fighting more powerful opponents – which sadly exposes us to enemy fire, which adds certain tactical depth to this small arcade game. During our run, we encounter various upgrades and items spawning allied wingmen. Shooty Skies is also distinguished by its colorful visuals, build from huge voxels.

The fun is focused on exploration, finding clues, and solving puzzles that let us gradually discover the story background of the entire plot. Direct combat is rare and our weapon arsenal is severely limited, just as the ammunition stock.

Bound
August 16, 2016
Arcade, Experimental/artistic, 3D Platformers, PlayStation VR, Polish, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium, Singleplayer, TPP, PlayStation Exclusive, VR.
An experimental, three-dimensional platformer offering an abstract, alluring game world. Bound is the third project developed by Plastic - a Polish team popular for a dark adventure game Datura and an artistic logic game Linger in Shadows. Similar to these titles, Bound was created exclusively for PlayStation 4 and it was developed in cooperation with Sony Santa Monica (the God of War series). Although the game is hard to classify, calling it simply a three-dimensional platformer is a relatively accurate description. Special emphasis was placed on puzzle solving, which is done together with other players. When creating the game world, the developers were inspired by works of abstract art from the beginning of the twentieth century - the player observes lively colors contrasting with one another, as well as simple blocks the virtual environments are made of. Additionally, certain elements of the in-game world are generated procedurally. Motion-capture techniques with the participation of Maria Udod (a professional, Russian dancer) were used in creation of character animations for the game.

In City Run London you need to keep a low-profile and sneak behind the guards’ backs, because open combat will most certainly lead to your death. A special radar that shows the range of sight of NPCs will help you avoid detection. The game features attractive, 3D graphics in a vivid, comic book-like style.

Rez Infinite

Arcade, Experimental/artistic, Meta Quest / Oculus, Music, PlayStation VR, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium, Rail Shooter, Remaster/remake, Singleplayer, SteamVR, VR.
A refreshed version of the cult-classic rhythm game from 2001. The new edition, developed by Enhance Games studio lead by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, has been adapted to make use of virtual reality goggles, but a traditional gameplay is also available. Aside from the content present in the original game, the developers added a new location, called Area X. In Rez Infinite, the player’s task is to remove the effects of a malfunction inside an advanced AI called Eden. The game mixes the gameplay of so called rail shooters, with elements of rhythm games. As a result, we don’t control the direction where our character is headed – all we have to do is to mark groups of elements appearing on the screen, which explode, generating various audio-visual effects. The abstract visuals, characteristic of the original title, have been adapted to modern standards.

Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
December 4, 2015
Adventure, FPP, Humorous, Indie Games, Action Adventure, Singleplayer.
A humorous action adventure game and the debut title from Crows Crows Crows. The action of Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist takes place in Europe during a hot summer that made history as a result of a series of thefts of some of the most valuable works of art. The players assume the role of a thief that committed those crimes and his next target is a vault in a highly-secured manor full of valuables. Completing the game should not take more than a few dozen minutes during which we will be carefully exploring the manor and trying to avoid its security systems. The game is presented in a very funny form, though, as a game developed by a completely disorganized group of programmers who constantly complain about failing to complete each element of the production. Therefore, uncovering of the subsequent developer jokes only serves to add to the fun.

The third part of the strategy game series launched in 2010, which recreates key military operations of World War II. This time, the developers from VR Designs studio concentrated on the titular Operation Barbarossa, the German offensive against the Soviet Union, described as one of the most important military operations carried out by the Axis, whose failure greatly contributed towards the final defeat of the 3rd Reich in the war. The general gameplay premises remain unchanged; Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa remains a turn-based strategy game that realistically recreates many aspects of skirmishes as well as the strategic activities accompanying them. As far as novelties go, a dynamic, semi-automatic decision system is the most important one, allowing you to leave the minor decisions in the hands of AI, and a new army management system, which features some RPG inspired solutions.
